Saturday Course
Hi everyone glad you can visit today, I missed you.
Well today I'm going to tell you what I have been up to this week, apart from writing of course.
Today Saturday, woke up at 6 am, no I did not set the alarm MY brain just woke me up. Made a cup of tea as you do, fed Garfield, Alfie our cats and George the dog before taking George for a walk. I could not be asked to wear my glasses, I could see well enough to do our normal route around the block without getting run over. We live in a small village, so small that all we have is a closed shop, a closed public house and a hairdressers that's open, if you have seen a photo of me you will know that is something I do not need.
Well after doing all that, all I had to do was pump my tyre up as it was a bit low on air. I ensured I had all my paperwork with me including my driving licence, then set off for my course. My course is a classroom based course, I have to do a total of 35 hours in 7 hour segments before September 2014. This is to do with my lorry driving licence, even though I have had it over 27 years, I have to do a course that will cost me £386.25 (U$D 642.87)
I left at 7.15 am went via a supermarket to buy a sandwich for the dinner break, otherwise I will be very hungry as the course is held in a hall in a village 6.2 miles (10k) away from civilisation, I found that out the first course I did back in January 2014.
So there I sat for 7 hours, I did not waste the time, I took my pad and as the tutor wrote on the board, I wrote the first draft of a short story. He thought I was being diligent and was making notes for the test later on, but no I WAS doing something so much more interesting. Ho I just thought, I hope he does not read this and fail me on the course. Don't worry I have just remembered, I got all the question correct on the test at the end of the today, so I must of been multitasking, and me a bloke, is that even possible?
(Tongue in cheek.)
So here I am with the first draft sitting in front of me waiting to be crafted in to a fantastic short story, I will then leave if for seven days to mature, and on the seventh day I will polish it and it will be ready to be added to the fantastic story list, not the bin, I hope.

Enjoyed you comments. Being from the U.S. I enjoyed the dialect. If you read (free) the first almost two chapters of my novel Darby you'll read some Appalachian dialect. Glad to have you as a friend on Goodreads.
Ha, have you been driving a lorry for 27 years without a licence?
I know your post is from nearly a year ago, but I enjoyed it so much I felt I had to comment. You seem like an amiable sort of bloke, and I'm glad to have met you. Hope your short stories and other stories are doing quite well out in the big world.
